A week ago, I had a profound dream—one of the many audible dreams I often have. In this dream, I heard a phrase: "I'm opening the divine playbook!"

We know what a playbook is in sports—a strategy book where a team devises particular moves and strategies to counteract the other team and figure out how to get the ball. I believe this speaks to what is happening globally right now. We can see the enemy's play overtly and obviously, but what about God's playbook?

We are in a moment where the divine playbook is opened up. In Psalm 2, you see an interesting dialogue of actions and plays.

Let's look at verses 1-6:

Act I – The Nations Speak

- How dare the nations plan a rebellion.

their foolish plots are futile!

- Look at how the power brokers of the world

Rise up to hold their summit

- As the ruler's scheme and confer together

against Yahweh and His Anointed King, saying: "Let's come together and break away from the Creator. Once and for all let's cast off these controlling chains of God and His Christ!"

Act II – God Speaks

- God-Enthroned merely laughs at them;

the Sovereign One mocks their madness!

- Then, with the fierceness of His fiery anger,

He settles the issue and terrifies them to death with these words:

- "I myself have poured out My King on Zion, My holy mountain."

Can you see the two playbooks in action? For years, we have seen the enemy's plays in the news, media, church, and every facet of society.

We see the antichrist agenda that is working against America, using elites and people in power who feel they have the upper hand, even acting like gods.

There's been a direct move against Christianity in the last 60 years, where we've seen the Ten Commandments removed from schools, and demonic narratives and ideologies have spread throughout schools, culture, family life, and issues of gender.

It's preached loudly and has even caused the church to feel inadequate and powerless, but we are about to see the divine playbook open up on a global scale!

We know that at the end of the playbook, God wins. From now until that final victory when Jesus returns, we're going to see this divine playbook open up in supernatural ways.

FROM DIVINE OPPOSITION TO DIVINE OPPORTUNITY

As I was reflecting on the playbook dream, I heard, "As I open up the scroll, you will move from divine opposition to divine opportunity!"

In 2020, we saw the global rise of the epoch of divine opposition. While God was not the author of it—this was the enemy's playbook in full display—God allowed the church to face these challenges because we had become comfortable, compromised, and lost our fire.

Now, we are transitioning from divine opposition into divine opportunity. The church is awakening and realizing that action is required—there needs to be a pushback, a fight. In this hour of deep desperation, the church is no longer clinging to its comforts or its safety.

The church's ears are now open to hear the true word of the Lord, whereas they were closed in 2020.

You would think that a pandemic would have driven the church to the feet of Jesus, but instead, it drove much of the church deeper into the swirl of culture. So, God needed to allow the church to be shaken so that who she really was could come forth.

That's why we've seen shakings, empires falling, and people being exposed—because God has used this season of divine opposition to reposition the church.

He has taken the keys and authority in regions from leaders who have not stewarded them well and has given them to those with a heart like David. We have started the shift from a Saul kingdom to a David kingdom.

God is restoring the fallen altar of the church so that we can actually be the church that shines amidst all the demonic propaganda trying to steal our nation, our kids, and our families. That is what God is doing right now as we enter this season of divine opportunity.

It's easy to look at what's happening in the world—the financial system crashing, looming famine, the potential for another pandemic—and begin to prophesy through fear, but that hasn't served us well in the past.

We need to be like the sons of Issachar, who not only understood the times but also knew what to do with that knowledge.

"Of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command" (1 Chronicles 12:32).

They had the insight to recognize the times they were living in and implement the right strategies and solutions to counteract the enemy and initiate God's plans.

With this season of divine opportunity before us, we need to do the same without hiding under a rock or denying the negative realities.

Right now, we need to decide whether we will look through the eyes of fear, bury our heads in the sand, try to stay comfortable, or tap into the redemptive plan of the Lord.

Let me say it again: This is not a moment to hide; it's a moment of divine opportunity. The church is shifting into a place of being a voice in the nations, rising up to be influential and speaking into situations to see shifts in crucial areas.

In this next season, you'll see key players arise. We don't need just to tell the news—we can all read the news. You don't have to be prophetic to react to the news; that's not prophetic. What's prophetic is being able to look at the times, tap into the heart of God, and ask, "God, what are you doing right now in this hour?"

THE CLEANSING & PURGING

We're in a days-of-Elijah moment, like when Elijah went to Mount Carmel for a showdown, which was actually an intercessory moment and a cleansing.

If you look at that moment as a cleansing, you'll recognize that the prophets of Baal were, in many ways, like a church that has not been in a relationship with God but has been in bed with culture. God used that moment to cleanse the church and the land of what was defiled so that the drought could break and the rain could come.

Right now, if we're looking correctly at this moment, we can see that the nation of America turning back to God involves breaking the agreements we've made through our compromise and restoring what has been broken down.

Just as Roe v. Wade set in motion a curse over the land, God has been raising up a people for many years who would tear down that altar and covenant so that we could enter back into the fullness of what the nation was meant to be.

Christy and I believe our calling here in America is to see not just the fall of Goliath, which we believe Roe v. Wade represented, but also to see Goliath's brothers chased out of the land. What happens in America influences Australia, which is why we know our calling here is significant. We have definitely shifted into a season of divine opportunity.

For the body of Christ, this means engaging. We need to stop pandering to culture and the fear of man and shift into a place of being a voice and an influence.

This really comes down to shaking off the fear of man and being the voices God has called us to be. We are entering times where it may feel like persecution, but I believe the days of being secret or hidden justice fighters are over. We have to rise up and be the voices that God has called us to be.

THE DAYS OF REVEALING

The message of the hour is that we are entering the days of the REVEALING of the true church.

While many are looking at the end times as this apocalyptic Armageddon, the word apocalypse actually means "the revealing." So regardless of what the enemy's playbook is, God's playbook is going to only shine brighter and reveal Himself in the earth.

Yes, we are stepping into the days of the great revealing of the church.

The revealing of the pure bride and the revealing of the promiscuous bride.

After many years of intense fire and warfare, we are truly entering days of greater glory. I saw it as no coincidence that I had this dream on 8:18:

"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us" (Romans 8:18).

We are entering a shift of power! The enemy has felt like he has usurped the church of power, but now we are entering the days of the power-packed church arising!

It's time for a Pentecost-proportioned move of the Spirit where we leave our earthly wisdom and achievements behind and surrender to the Spirit once again.

HEAVEN'S NEWSCAST

In this hour of divine opportunity, we need to focus less on what the enemy is doing and tap into the newscast of heaven.

It's not that we shouldn't talk about what is happening in the world—we definitely should—but what gets more airtime: the enemy's agenda or what God is doing?

The opportunity is this: just as Joseph was brought from obscurity before Pharaoh to save a nation, God is raising up and revealing His church in all metrons and societal spheres on earth.

We need to be engaged in policies and government and not bury our heads in the sand.

We need to pray for the revelation of the church and for Christians to rise up in areas of influence so we can see God's redemptive plan in His divine playbook revealed.

There are divine opportunities for the body of Christ right now to be revealed where the enemy is wreaking the most havoc so we can see a take-back and a shift of power.

That's what I believe God is doing—there are going to be some supernatural shifts in the coming years, accompanied by incredible tension.

We need to tell the body of Christ that this tension will be between demonic darkness spreading in certain areas and the revealing of God's plan simultaneously.

There will be wars, shakings, natural disasters, and financial issues, but if we only focus on those things, we will only see the deep darkness spreading over the earth.

God wants us to focus on His redemptive plan in His divine playbook.

I have more specifics to share from this encounter, but for now, know that God's plans are about to be seen globally through you and me!

Over the next year, God is going to pour out dreams and strategies, blueprints, and wisdom to those who ask for it.

He is going to bring you before kings with the word of the Lord to shift power regionally and nationally.

He is handing out keys of authority to take back what has been compromised and broken.

And He is giving you a voice and a zeal to see your nation and the nations of the earth return to God and chase the giants out of the land!
